69)Volleyball

Supplies:
* volleyball net
* volleyball
* tape/chalk/etc to mark playing area

Set-up:
Use a volleyball court or make one by setting up a volleyball net with around 30 feet of running space on either side. At the end of this space on either side, draw a line along the ground, parallel to the net.


How to Play:
Split group into two teams. Designate one side of the net for each team. The teams should spread out on their side of the net. One team starts, by having the player in it's back, right corner, "serve" (hit) the ball over the net, to the other team. The goal is to get the ball to hit the ground on the other side, within the playing area.
Players may serve the ball from the line by tossing it up, and using their palms to hit it forward, or by holding one hand in the palm of the other, wrists upward, and hitting the ball with the wrist.
If the ball hits the net or the ground before going over, the other team scores a point, and has a turn to serve.
When the ball goes over the net, the other team must try to hit it back. The teams "volley" the ball back and forth, over the net, until the ball hits the ground. When this happens, the team on the opposite side of the net scores a point, and it becomes their turn to serve.
The players on each team, take turns serving. Usually, the groups spread out in 2 lines, parallel to the net. When a team looses it's turn to serve, the players move clockwise, so that the person who was at the front right, move to the back right, which is the serving position.
A ball should not be hit by anyone besides the server until it goes over the net. Once over, it should not be hit more than three times, or by the same person twice in a row, before it goes back over the net. If this happens, the other team scores a point.
Each time the server prepares to serve the ball, he/she should call out the score, their score, then the other team's score (ie: "Five Three" or "Seven Nine") Upon calling the score, the server may then hit the ball.
The game is traditionally played until one team makes it to a given number of points (often 16). Alternatively, it can be played for a designated amount of time, and the team with the most points wins.
